- Final roundup: PHP Weekender is over
The second day of the PHP Weekender is over now, too. We are happily looking
back on a great event and I want to thank Benjamin Schwertfeger and Dave
Kliczbor form the Computer Sience faculty of the University of Dortmund for
their engagement. Beside that, we want to thank all the attendees and my
fellows form the PHP Usergroup Dortmund for coming and making this event
such a great success!
- A great success: PHP Weekender day 1
The first day of the PHP Weekender (the free-of-charge, 2-day PHP event
organized by the PHP Usergroup Dortmund) just comes to an end and we are
heading out for the social event. All in all, I have to say, it is a
fantastic event and we are really happy about its success.
- Last change: Know a lot about PHP in 2 days, for free!
I just returned from vacation and realized, that the PHP Weekender (the
free-of-charge workshop weekend for PHP enthusiasts, organized by the
[http//phpugdo.de PHP Usergroup Dortmund]) has 90 verified, registered
attendees so far. This is really cool, we never expected such a huge number
of signups! Anyway, the PHP Weekender starts on upcoming Saturday, October
7th. If you did not register, yet, you should take your heels and run to our
website, since we will only accept registrations until tomorrow 12:00 CET.
- PHP Weekender reaches 50 attendee mark
Today the PHP Weekender (our 2-day, 2-track, free-of-charge, PHP event in
Dortmund) reached the 50 attendee mark (we only count attendees who verified
their email address, yet, else we have almost 60 now). It is a great feeling
for us to see how many people are interested. Since we are at the
university, we have enough space left to get some more attendees in, but
beware, space is already getting rare... So take your heels and sign up for
a place at the PHP Weekender, because Dortmund is on PHP! :)
- PHPUGDO proudly presents: The PHP Weekender
It's been a good month, since the PHP Usergroup Dortmund asked for feedback
on the idea of a PHP introduction workshop in Dortmund. Because of the huge
masses of interessted people, we expanded the idea and are now going to make
a 2 day, 2 track PHP introduction weekend, including 2 workshops and a lot
of interessting sessions about topics like "XML handling", "Enterprise PHP",
"SOA" and "Shell scripting.
- Free eZ components sessions -2- [Update]
I forgot that Wolfgang and me moved the dates for the sessions, because
Wolfgang is on vacation and wants to take part in the sessions. Sorry for
that! So, here are the correct dates:
- PHPUGDO plans "PHP introduction workshop"
During our last usergroup meeting here in Dortmund (last Thursday), the idea
came up to organize a "PHP introduction day", if there is enough interesst
in the local area. The idea resulted from the success of Kores and my "PHP
best practices talk" at FrOSCon. We generally thought about making a whole
day event, where we will teach people PHP basics in the morning and some
advanced stuff (like best practices, usage of components, etc.) in the
afternoon. So I emailed the students mailinglist of our computer science
faculty at university and our Linux AG mailinglist from university, if there
is interesst. By now we have over 50 interessted people, which is really
amazingly cool! The plans evolved further again and we think about making a
2 day event, where we provide PHP basisc on day 1 in the morning, then give
people the chance to code a small application in the afternoon, where we
give assistance (so a real "workshop"). On day 2 we will then teach the
advanced section and let people also code a small app, using some advanced
techniques, like OO patterns and component libraries.
- PHP at FrOSCon report
FrOSCon ended yesterday, but because the net was cut down too early, I could
not blog this one. So I'm doing that now.
- FrOSCon "eZ comonents" slides online
I just commited the slides from my recent talk "Enterprise PHP development
with eZ components". It should be online in a couple of minutes here.
- FrOSCon "PHP best practices" slides online
Kore and me held our talk about "PHP best practices" this morning at the
Free and Open Source software Conference and were quite successful, AFAICT.
There were about 50 attendees, which listened concentrated over the whole
time. The talk contains an overview on how to behave when coding PHP in
respect to
